Roasting results in the formation of oxides. But why are oxide ores are subjected to roasting? Correct Answer To remove volatile impurities in the form of their oxides

Oxide ores are subjected to roasting to remove the volatile impurities in the form of their oxides. It is easier to obtain metals from their oxides (by reduction) than from carbonates or sulphides. So before reduction can be done, the ore is converted into metal oxide.
